I would never have thought to purchase items from Aldi. I had this
preconception that it was going to be cheap (yes that part is true)
and tacky and basically rubbish (this part is not true! YAY!) But I
was pleasantly surprised. Some news articles are comparing Aldi
products to £200+ creams. I have linked some articles below so you
can see for yourself!
So
what products have I tried...?
Renew
Daily Face Cream Q10 SPF 15 - £1.49
This
day cream is perfect to use on a daily basis. It sinks into the skin
well, and has an SPF of 15 which is always a bonus. This is a lovely
light moisturiser with a subtle scent which is also perfect to be
worn under makeup to keep your skin hydrated all day! The tube is a
nice handbag size too, so it's great for travel or overnight stay.
Renew
Day Cream – Q10 £1.99
This
is definitely my favourite in the range. It smells really good but
not overpowering in any way. It is suitable for sensitive skin so you
don't have to worry about any blotchy red skin or rashes. It sinks
into the skin well, providing a great base for makeup. I have
recently been wearing this under my daily foundation with a little
powder on top and my face doesn't go shiny. This day cream does smell
different to the previous face cream mentioned and I prefer this one.
However, because it doesn't have SPF I would always recommend wearing
this one with an SPF foundation on top to protect against UV. The
packaging is a nice glass pot which definitely makes the product feel
more than its worth.
Expert
Intensive Care – Beautifying Serum
This
product I didn't like quite as much. The serum is good in the way
that it definitely did make my skin feel smoother and softer, so it
does do its job. However, I don't like the smell AT ALL. It smells
like cough medicine, Covonia comes to mind... and when I'm smearing
something that smells like cough medicine all over my face it doesn't
exactly make it feel like a pamper product. It also stung my eyes and
face slightly, and I don't have sensitive skin. So I wouldn't
recommend this to anybody that has sensitive or rash-prone skin. The
product comes in a glass bottle, which is always nicer than plastic,
and definitely feel luxurious. You only need to use 2-3 drops, so it
will last a very long time meaning you absolutely get your money's
worth!

Double Effect Eye Gel
Again,
with this product, I don't like the smell. It reminds me of raisins.
However, the gel does moisturise the area around the eyes well. It
does leave the skin a little sticky, but I didn't find this too
irritating.
Have
any of you tried the Aldi skin care range? Were you impressed?
